Re: [amayausers] Re: needles and thread breaks on nylon jacketWhat you haven't
told
us was the density you are using on that font
at .4 high?
and what speed is the machine running.
Nylon is very tight and heats up a needle very quickly
making for hot soft needles that bend and break easier.
Let us know.

scientific testing is now showing the FONT to be part of the problem.
using CooperDak .4" letters sewing out RHS letters........all is well
through 6 sewouts on the nylon.
using Full Block .4" letters sewing out RHS.......the needle just busted
on the H. All 4 needle breaks have been when using Full Block only.
I'm starting to suspect a problem in density in the lettering of this font.

When we get the 'shredding' we run a fingernail done the needle in
question-and if there is a 'burr' you'll feel your finger tip catch on it...and
that means your needle is hitting on something-either off center and hitting
the needle plate, or your jacket is hanging off the table and pulled the hoop
as the needle went through-and the needle hit the plate. Or someone
repositioned the jacket as it was sewing or (I've done this) accidentally hit
the hoop arm bending over to get something...
doesn't take much at all to make that needle go sidewise, just a hair and
it will hit the plate underneath and cause a 'burr' when the tip bends a
little. That's what catches and unravels the thread but it keeps on sewing....

I'm getting "partial" shredding breaks......where it appears the inner
core of the thread usually stays intact, but the outer "shell" gets all knotted
up in the needle case area...

Hi there. A couple of things to try...more backing, as nylon is very
light, and sew slow....and depending on the type of thread breaks (clean breaks
or shredding breaks), check needle alignment, and add or subtract MT.
BEST WISHES!
